More and more, I'm seeing women warm up to the idea of changing their diet to influence their baby's gender or sex. I believe that this is partly due to the economy. Few couples are able to part with the thousands of dollars that choosing your baby's gender in a clinic takes.

Not only that, but tweaking the mother-to-be's diet is a very cheap and relatively easy way to influence whether you have a boy or a girl baby. (The father-to-be doesn't need to change his diet as he contributes both girl and boy making sperm regardless of what he eats.) This article will discuss the diet for the mother which will hopefully help the couple trying to conceive a girl baby.

The Foods That Are Recommended For Women Who Are Trying To Conceive A Girl:I believe that the "girl diet" is generally easier for most people than the "boy diet" because the foods to conceive a girl baby include more every day items that contain grain and dairy. And, the diet that encourages boy babies relies more on fruits and vegetables, which are lacking in many of our diets.

So, the dietary changes for conceiving a girl aren't often as drastic. That's not to say that you can't eat a balanced diet when you're trying for a daughter. There most definitely are fruits and vegetables that read acidic. (In general, you want to eat acidic rather than alkaline foods.) Examples are corn, some types of beans, squash, and olives. For fruits, good acidic sources would be plums, prunes, cranberries, blueberries, and glazed fruits.

In general, dairy (cheese, milk, yogurt) is a big part of the baby girl diet as are grains (bread, crackers, rice, oats, wheat, and pasta.) Most meats (beef, fish, pork) also read as acidic, as do many nut products (peanuts, peanut butter, cashews, and walnuts.) Also, many sugars and oils are acidic, which is a good thing in this scenario because these substances are unfortunately an every day occurrence in many of our diets.

Why It's Important To Test Your Results Even If You're On A Strict Acidic Diet:Unfortunately, I find that many people will just educate themselves in a general way and then try to move forward. They'll hope that in general, they can just load up on dairy, nuts, and meat and avoid fruits and vegetables and be good to go. This isn't really how it works. Because there are exceptions to every rule. There are acidic fruits and vegetables just as there are alkaline dairy, grains, and meats.

That's why not only do you often need a good food list, you also often need to test yourself to tell for sure how you are reacting to what you are eating. Some foods are thought to be acidic but turn alkaline when digested and metabolized. Also, the cooking methods and ripeness of what you are eating can also influence how your body responds to it. It's advisable to use PH testing strips on a regular basis to make sure that you are actually having the desired result. It would be quite unfortunate to think that the foods you are eating are making you more acidic only to find that you're becoming more alkaline instead (and are therefore increasing your chances of having a boy.)

Specific foods lists can be a great guideline, but it's always advisable to test just to make sure. This is also beneficial because it can help you to pinpoint the foods that are working best for you so that you can load up on those for quicker results. Also, testing helps you to make sure that you're as acidic as you need to be on the days approaching ovulation (when you should begin having sex and trying to conceive.)

Why Diet Is Not The Only Thing To Consider When You Are Trying To Have A Girl Baby:Tweaking your diet is one of at least three variables that you'll need to cover if you want to have the best chance of getting a girl. You will also want to look at your timing (since you want to conceive in the days leading up to ovulation rather than after it has already taken place.) And, you will also want to try to use sexual positions that allow for more shallow and controlled penetration.

Coming up with the best diet and regimen to conceive a girl isn't at all hard, especially if you use the tools that mean that you aren't just guessing or hoping for the best.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of getting pregnant with a girl (or choosing your baby's gender.) You'll find resources for food lists, examples of PH test strips, step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes, tools concerning timing, and support.
